Watch' Why Are We Fat?' here: • Why Are We Fat? | Comp...
Never in all its history has America been so obese. The obesity rates keep climbing. 160 million Americans are severely overweight. Faced with this staggering figure, healthcare professionals are trying to find new, more efficient, and more aggressive treatments for this illness. We meet Casey, one of the few whose weight has become a matter of life and death, and travel to Arizona to see an innovative new academy helping young girls learn healthy habits and slim down.
The rising obesity crisis has given momentum to a new movement: body positivity. Through lucrative social media accounts, popular magazine covers, and even successful ‘Miss Plus’ beauty pageants, overweight Americans are learning to flaunt their curves and love themselves no matter their size.

Never in all its history has America been so obese. 160 million Americans are severely overweight. Faced with this staggering figure, healthcare professionals are trying to find new, more efficient and more aggressive treatments for this illness.
The rising obesity crisis has given momentum to the relatively new movement of body positivity.

It is a choice not an illness.
Or..never outside
You need vitamin D3 from sun
Just use sunscreen
At high sun

@@kr23777 Absolutely wrong. Please see my comment under the OP itself.
Body positivity is insane. You're not finding yourself, you're finding diabetes. Stop eating processed food and get healthy.
Saying it's unfair having to pay for 2 seats on an airplane when you're literally taking up 2 seats makes no sense
Exactly. The obese are preventing someone else from buying that seat, so they should be paying
They call it entitlement 😂😂
im sure they can pay for livestock crate, can be moved with a forklift
Well when you’re two people what do you expect.
What's gross is to have someone's fat spilling over the arm rest.
BEING OBESE SHOULD NOT BE GLAMORIZED OR NORMALIZED EVER !!!
It has been nowadays
We're at the end of days. All the 7 deadly sins are now normalized, promoted and accepted. This is sloth, gluttony and for the body positive movement pride as well.
@@chrisblaisdell6255enough with the end of days bs..
People have been spewing that nonsense for decades..
Yes it should be. I'm thin but everyone is different. Who am I to judge?
@@chrisblaisdell6255 Judgemental much??😂
Allowing children to be obese should be considered child abuse. At the very least it should be considered criminal for our schools to feed what they do to children.
Unfortunately, schools are trying to find ways to cut spending, and junk food is one way to do that. The children would be better if they ate more real, nutritional food.
@emem2863 maybe if we start calling it a war on ignorance they will find the money for education.
allowing them to eat meat should be considered animal abuse
@BenjoCovers Allowing them to eat plants should be plant abuse.
@@emem2863 And why would i care about plant abuse? Nobody does, not even the plant, bc its not conscious, its just an object. Like my computer, it can react to my inputs but its still not conscious
No matter what any body positivity person says, completely unhealthy to be obese and you will die early. Bigger you are the harder your heart has to work.
That’s on them though. If that’s how they choose to live then so be it.
but its still everyones own choice to be fat or healthy, they can do with their body what they want. The only important thing you are obligated to is not harming others with your daily food choices, so go vegan and leave the animals bodies alone
@@UnfilteredAmerica Many don't chosse to live like that tho. People need information and clear guidance even without personal trainers. The food industry should also be encouraged to produce healthier food.
@@UnfilteredAmerica not when taxpayers have to pay for their health care
@@BenjoCoversand when they get sick, where do they run to? Do u think all can afford to be hospitalized and pay for the bills? It will then be shouldered by the govt who got their funds from the people's taxes. Gets?
Why cant the body positivity embrace fit and healthy bodies? Imagine starting a alcoholic acceptance movement instead of helping alcoholics recover.
Superbly said! There's literally NO difference.
We're in the end of days. Just look at society. All the deadly sins are pushed and accepted.
Well, bars promote drinking. So thats like an alcoholic's Heart Attack Grill 🤷♀️ arguments for both sides, on both topics, exist within society. You just have to know where to look
It was meant to be about people with deformed body's or embracing disabilities possibly birth defects, post motherhood and people who lost weight having a lot of excess skin or something. Like people with different body types that didn't fit "beauty standards." It's become a slippery slope that spawned it's evil twin "Fat Positivity." Sure, love yourself but when you do, you will naturally manifest slimming down. Otherwise Obesity is personal denial.
Brilliant metaphor
There's a McDonald's, a Burger King, a Taco Bell, a KFC....yes, but is there a SUPER MARKET?? I'm overweight and only have myself to blame. We're not victims. We're lazy. It's a battle, but we need to take responsibility for our choices.
There is a responsibility to yourself to have a better diet...but, if the food that is everywhere, and advertised everywhere, and advertised as good and healthy, and saves time, and is affordable, it can't just be down to the individual to make better choices. It is even aimed at children, who grow up thinking that this is fine, because they have always been told it is fine, even good, even our governments are part of the problem here, they are aware of the problem, but keep taking money from the big food lobbyists, and allow the high fat, high sugar, high chemical based foods to flood our markets,
@@lukekey Children? I cannot believe you say "it can't just be down to the individual to make better choices!!?!" There's actually no debating people like you because this is the weakest and most pathetic statement I have heard in years.
I mostly agree, but its not one or the other. We can live in a world that is set up to allow people to eat themselves to death so companies can profit. This is wrong. And also person responsibility is a major factor. Honestly fast food is a bad system since they cant even afford to pay their employees a living wage while offering cheap calorie dense food that even poor people can afford to eat regularly. I think both these companies and the people who are being "lazy" and not taking care of themselves have a lot of room for improvement.
dont say that. These companies put stuff in the food to make you addicted. Also they take fiber out to make you eat more. Its not there fault its the fault of the cartel relationship between food companies and government.
It doesn't matter. Please see my comment under the OP to understand why even your better habits aren't going to save you after all, and no, that's not your fault.
As of December 2023, I was 93 kilos, just on the other side of Obesity. Today is May 26, 2024, I am 73 kilos.
bravo, that's an amazing feat! :) stay consistent and enjoy your new body and health!
That's too much weight loss in so little time. Anyways how tall are you?
@@seyiesetuosopfii3153 while it may seem like plenty, it's around 4kg per month. and this is if we don't take into consideration the initial water loss you get when you fix your diet... imo, it's on point - but a plateau is probably incoming. op, please beware and also consider your desired maintenance weight.
congrats again!
i second the height question. :)
God bless you on your journey ❤
A recent comment from my doctor to the "Body Positivity" movement: there's no such thing as fat old people.
Very true ! Because you'd be dead before you get old !
Funny how it used to be that the rich were fat and the poor were skinny. Now it’s the other way around
Yes🎉
Why is someone else's weight funny there are rich and poor people of all sizes , source?
Not funny or even ironic. It's about "food deserts" where there's no access to affordable healthy food. Also, if you buy or grow and cook your own food, you're still not safe. See my comment under the OP to understand why.
The rich were fat when food was scarce, so you had to have money to eat well, and those with money didn't need to slave away so they were more sedentary.
The poor are fat now because good healthy food is scarce, so you have to have time/money to cook, eat well, and you probably need to be wealthy to 'afford the time' to play sports, exercise, overall have healthy hobbies, whilst those working 2-3 jobs don't.
ETA: just because I can empathize and rationalize this doesn't mean I'M a fat person giving 'excuses' lmao
@@WandernHunger yep. Well explained.
He also lives near a grocery store and can cook for himself. That's a wild lack of accountability on his own part.
I've seen the entire reality series on him and his family. he has the maturity, perspective, and life experience of a preteen.
You should see Casey now. He has lost all the weight and is doing very well.
Exactly. Where I live there are fast food places as well, but I never go there. Of course you are able to get fat on home cooked too, so really they just have all these bad habits of not taking care of themselves.
Cook healthy food. Of course you can get fat cooking at home if you cook unhealthy food.
The victim's mentality he had was ridiculous. Just because something is there doesn't mean you have to eat it.
He's not a victim of fast food, he's a victim of lack of self control.
indeed! I'v got a McDonald's at a 5 min distance from my apartment, yet I think I can count on one hand the amount of times I've visited it over the past 3-4 years. Stop complaining about fast food restaurants when you can go also just COOK.
America is sick!!! Never in my life have seen people fat as this. Same time you have many series about it that's crazy. In Europe obesity means overweight 20-30 kg not 200 kg
Nobody cares about Europe. Useless, irrelevant place.
I had a stroke in sept, at the age of 50. I was 236lbs at 5'2. In 8 months I'm down to 170 and dropping. I live a low carb life style, no way I'm going back to eating junk. The SAD (standard american diet) is a death sentence. I feel good I now get out 3 days a week and walk 4 to 10 miles, depending on how I feel. I couldn't walk a full mile a year ago. I have a rare burger but it's bunless and I never eat processed oils. I'm no longer a type two diabetic, I feel so much better. I look so much better. I can't wait until I'm done with my transformation. It feels wonderful.
Good for you. Majority from the 90's on got more fat/obese over time caused by a change in dietary recommendations from mostly meat, eggs, fish, dairy, fat with sides of veg and the odd dessert to mostly veg, grains, legumes, veg oils and fruit. Started I believe because a few US Senators eating way too much rich food had heart attacks and colleagues wanted answers. Plenty of plant based advocates and cereal manufacturers willing to put their hands up and take the funds to produce studies saying what they wanted to hear. The theory being lower calories, plenty of undigestible expelled fibre will 'fix' all issues. Most not enjoying the diet add processed or swapped to processed. This experiment is a massive disaster.
I was 236 lbs 6 years ago. I lost my car and had to start taking the bus. Which ment I had to walk outside in the heat of Florida. I got down to 150,lbs . Today I've gained 20lbs back. It's very scary. There are 2 reasons I feel are why . The first one is I started taking Uber more . Which ment I'm not walking as much and the second is stress. I know that when I'm financially stressed out I snack more. So not exercising like I was has also added to my stress because I'm not releasing the stress. So I got terrified of putting on to much weight so I started taking the bus at least one to three times a week. I've been trying to cut sugar out but I'm so addicted to it that I get headaches and sometimes I feel lightheaded. So that's a work in process. I definitely don't want to gain anymore weight so I have to put in the work even when I don't want to. Especially when I don't want to 😊
@@kristenwebb672, The addiction is real. I cut all sugar out in sept. I'm a work in progress. I just keep reminding myself of the feeling of the stroke. It really sucked and scared me.
Resilience !!
Congratulations….. it’s not about health for the food industry, it’s about wealth….. Society eats way too many carbs and sugar!!!! It’s sad… (Standard American Diet)
I'm fat. I cannot run. I cannot jump. I have difficulty with stairs and dancing. It is not fun. My knees hurt. Trust me, the fat positivity people in this video are leaving quite a bit out. I'm aiming to change things. My goal is to be able to run, jump, dance, do stairs and be free of knee pain. I also travel quite a bit and really do not want to be accommodated in fat. I'm losing weight.
good luck!
Your future you will thank you.
They are making money
Don't give up!!! you can do it!!!
wishing you all the success with getting ur health back. You will do great first step is admitting there's a problem
All I keep hearing is how it's the food industries fault when the majority of people have ZERO accountability and ZERO self-control. It's always easier to blame someone else.
talking about not being vegan lol. Right, how about having some accountability?
Both is true. The food industry makes it much harder to loose weight. There should be a scoietal shift towards that. But people also have to take accountability and learn self-control.
@@lexxihd5843 take accountability and learn self-control then by stopping cruelty towards animals with your daily choices
Exactly - it comes down to lazy decision making. DECISION MAKING! People make choices and forget that there are consequences that correlate with their CHOICES. It’s too easy to push the blame on others for making it easier to gain weight; but so many refuse to accept the accountability/results that comes along with their decisions and life choices.
@@amyt1672 Daily choices that have victims on the end. Will you acknowledge the consequences of consuming animal products or do you only care about your own bodily autonomy?
I'm Aussie and this is nothing but gluttony while some people struggle to be able to eat once a day ! so much for the most powerful nation 🤢🤮
I lost 80lbs in less than one year by just cutting out carbs and sugars, incorporating intermittent fasting, and exercising a few days out of the week. Save your money people!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What kind of carbs did you cut out 😊
What do you eat in a typical day. I want to lose wait, too.
Don’t be afraid of carbs. Try eating brown, red or black rice. Sweet potatoes are good too! They will keep you fuller for longer! I promise you that. Put some virgin coconut oil in your oats. That’ll keep you full for longer as well❤️ avocados are good too!
All the foods you listed would completely ruin the weight loss plan. But avocados on the other hand are 100% okay and recommended. @MichelleQuintiaVLOGS
Being fat is “cute” until you can’t walk and take care of yourself and have chronic pain and cardiovascular disease and diabetes. I’ll pass!
I agree. Its sad seeing fat positivity influencers die in their 30s and 40s. I think we should help overweight people feel normal and human so they aren't deterred from going to the gym or seeing doctors and nutritionists. We shouldn't demonize fat people but also don't allow people to lie and say you can be "healthy at any size" when after maybe 300 pounds there are serious health risks and mobility limitations.
Its like we can only eat so much food in a lifetime and if when you are 30 you already ate 100 years worth of food, its game over.
But it's not just a matter of saying "I'll pass". Unless you are raised with a healthy diet and have no cravings, your mind can't resist processed food and your body will constantly lead you astray.
I'm not fat and I have all of the above plz explain how that works for a 5ft6 9stone woman
@@Jovonne73 I’m not talking about YOU I’m talking about ME!
@@britzeneWhen a person can be happy about "winning" by being able to eat donuts while doing so, and nit think about being around for your kids.. That's some kind of (toxic) positivity, that.
Its amazing how just putting on some weight can bring on all these other health issues that you wouldn't even think would be weight related. Losing weight cures so many diseases!
Body positivity is literally what’s wrong with America! We live in a day and age where it’s okay to be a failure and you should be rewarded for those failures. STOP telling others it’s okay when it’s clearly not. Live your life as you please but do not push your ideas that are detrimental to health just because it makes you feel better about your self….
Taking pride in ones body is important, taking care of your health is even more important.
You can do with your body what you want, the only important thing is to leave others bodies alone so go vegan and stop harming animals
Ain’t no way I’m going to a burger place that spanks me if I don’t finish my food.
Agree. I can't fathom why anyone would want to put themselves through such humiliating degradation. It's almost like some whacky fetish to want to be dehumanized like that. Really disturbing.
So you would go? “Ain’t no way” = there is a way (it’s a double negative)
@@rjws69 you know what I mean. There’s no need to comment as if I’m not making myself clear enough for you. It’s not that serious. I said what I said.
It's so cringe.
I think there’s people who are into that 😅 the “step on me” gang
As someone who was overweight growing up in my teen years, 270 lbs and size 44, I decided at 15 to make different choices. Over the next 2 years, by doing so I came down to 185 lbs and a size 38. I finally set in at 150-160 and a size 32, and I remain that still at 64. Thankfully on no meds, and no health issues. My problem, like many today, was simply overeating. I could blame my parents for divorcing, the kids for picking on me, or the fast food industry, but the fact was that I simply made bad choices. Don't blame fast food, because they do not force you in to eat, and if you do there are choices that are reasonable. As far as airline travel, if you take up 2 seats then you pay for 2 seats. That is not discrimination, that is fair to the person who only needs one and does not want to share half of what they paid for with you. People today are looking to be a victim, and seeking someone or something to blame. Stop it, just stop it, and make better choices, get up do more activities, and quit looking for someone to blame other than the person in the mirror who has caused the problem.
Very well said. I was super pist when I paid for a whole seat, but only got half a seat on my 5 hour cross country flight. It really messed with my bad back. I had to sit sideways the entire flight.
Casey if you're watching this: I'm so proud of you. Keep going, day by day. You got this. You deserve great, radiant health.
The heart attack grill disgusts me. Glorifying obesity disgusts me. This country is doomed.
If obesity wasn't a problem in our country it would just be a funny novelty. It's not the restaurants problem that our food industrial complex is crooked and that our citizens are dying.
Would it be though? What's novel about overconsumption or unnecessary food waste? It's inane
I find it weird. The fact that many of the customers could be wearing a hospital gown getting real bypasses and being in fear and mortal danger. And the sexualisation too is weird.
It is a clever marketing strategy to be controversial but i coukd see that restaurant being looked back on in the future like how we look back on radium water as a medicine or leeching.
@@zanym8088 Novel means unusual, odd, unique and this restaurant is novel enough to have several documentaries about it. Understand language. You don't have to agree with its message but this restaurant is a novelty only in tourist places.
Relax. People go there for fun. Have some fun yourself.
Fast food is killing us slowly. I cook at home more, I do it for my family. Thank God for CZcams and all the people sharing their cooking knowledge.
Cooking is very simple unless you make it difficult. It does not have to be so diverse, only healthy. Breakfast: 5 eggs and 5 sausage. Lunch: plain yogurt. Dinner: fried ground meat in lard or butter, add some cut up vegetables, a potato that's been cooked a few days ago, or some boiled rice, brown a bit and serve! For snack 2 pieces of fresh fruit. That's what we eat daily.
It's cheaper than anything you can buy in fast food joints, low carb, and much more nutritious.
YES! I especially love cooking videos from grandmas who have a lifetime of experience. No fancy cameras, no prentions, no expensive ingredients, just good basic healthy food...
Same here. I love looking on CZcams for recipes. I just adjust the ingredients (such as sugar) if I need to so that it fits my preference. .
I never thought I would enjoy meal prepping, but to me, it's fun, better for your health (since you control everything that goes in your meals), and much better for your pocket. 🙂🙂
Unfortunately people have very poor self control now, their brains are wired for instant, unearned and entitled happiness.
Preach sister
I live in the UK.
Im a 50yr old female and I've always been overweight.
When I was 48yrs old i started weight training.
Now im all muscle and feel amazing .
Its all about mind control.
I met my best friend in high school, she was always a heavier woman…she finally had the surgery, which I wasn’t on board with at first due to health concerns, yet, she has made a PHENOMENAL change in her life! I’m a personal trainer, and when she was last in town visiting, it had been 2 years since her surgery…her diet is GREAT, her workout routine is GREAT, her lifestyle change is GREAT! She could’ve easily given up and said well, I’ve been heavy since I was a kid, and I’m ok with it now….be she wasn’t! She had been tryna lose weight since college….she would lose then gain it back, lose it then gain it back…im not saying everyone go get the surgery, but I am saying that some people who have had the procedure, gained the weight RIGHT BACK, due to lifestyle! It all comes down to lifestyle choices! 💯💯💯
25. % of people getting that surgery become obese again within 2 years.
Why has the USA forgot how to cook food at home? You don't need to eat fast food. Cook at homes. You can choose what you eat. It's more effort yes but the trade off is worse.
Lack of time. But yes, the trade off is worse.
Broiling a chicken breast and steaming some broccoli takes 10 minutes. You would sit in the drive through line longer just waiting for your Super Sized Big Mac meal!
Facts!!! People are just lazy plain and simple. The only anomaly are people in food deserts that don’t have access to fresh food but I agree and see if everyday.
Someone would rather go to chipotle or McDonald’s then going to the market.
Women went into work more not cooking is more convenient for tired parents recipes literally has been lost over a generation
Home economics and cooking would be mandatory junior high and high school courses if we really care to reduce obesity and many lifestyle diseases.
Extremely overweight people having to buy 2 airline tickets is not an injustice. It's a justice for everyone else. There seems to be a lot of entitlement and narcissism among the overweight
This is sickening to watch. I'AM 6ft 1 at 180 lbs and still trying to lose weight. As a stroke survivor eight years ago have managed to keep the weight off. As a nurse, I can tell you that if you saw what becomes of people who don't take care of themselves.
Rich people get prescribed Ozimpic. Poor people get prescribed body positivity.

Paying $31k to go for a walk is hilarious. The real winners are these clinics.
The meals that the "nutritionist" was concocting were so the opposite of what healthy humans need.
It's a growth industry for sure.
@@dmackle3849That nutritionist/clinic is a joke. They’re teaching them to go to bed hungry instead of teaching them how to create a healthy plate with fresh & whole foods. Feeding them cereal for breakfast when it’s bad to break your fast with sugar is another issue. I think they want them to rely on them forever. Nasty work.
When I saw cereal and milk I was thinking why not eggs and veggies for breakfast? What? Teach them how to eat so they feel full. Protein, fiber and good fats is what they should be taught. I can't believe those parents paid 31k for their daughters to not actually learn good eating habits.
Lack of accountability is the bigger problem .
31000 for fat camp.
Corn flakes in the morning? Better be making eggs and a protein shake for that price!
Eggs and meat, no protein shake, little to no carbs.
"A lot of it is not knowing what you're eating, it's about awareness ". That girl is correct 💯💯💯💯
They knew what they eat isn't healthy but they want it and don't care. I hear a lot of " I don't care" from people that loves to eat.
A victim? I was 400 lbs and I dropped the fork and changed my lifestyle. I’m 250 and I never ever thought I was a victim of my own doing. Victim mentality is out of control.
And there was too much enabling of obese people in this video.
Some weight issues is not about eating. I know a woman with a thyroid condition and it causes her to be bigger than she used to be.
Obese people are unlikely to "change their lifestyle" because they're usually at the lower socio-economic end of society (and we know it costs a lot less to eat badly), and are also more likely to suffer mental illness. Lack of empathy and low intelligence is also out of control.
@@prettylyricsmarie All that does is reduce her metabolism, meaning she needs less food to survive. There is no medical condition that will allow you to escape the first law of thermodynamics.
Working in restaurants for a decade gave me a view of obese people based on their eating habits. I could anticipate the orders of large people with way too much predictability
What's tragic is that poverty is the number one driver of obesity. Not laziness; not poor dietary choices.... poverty. It's absolutely inhumane that it costs more to eat healthily.
How poverty can driver the obesity? It’s not cheap to eat McDonald 3 times a day ((it’s not a poverty it’s a laziness
@@kate_alexusa The association poverty has with obesity is widely established. Healthy, nutritional food costs more, which is why poorer people are more likely to eat an unbalanced diet, which in turn restricts opportunities for physical development and increases the risk of obesity. The irony of calling other people lazy whilst displaying intellectual laziness of your own is telling.
They are addicts. In the same way a meth addict loses their looks from years of abuse, a food addict gains weight and does no exercise then tries to blame the food they love so much, while continuing to eat 4000+ calories a day

The restaurant is simply adressing with loads of irony what every fast food place does. Its like the South Park of burger joints. I really dont think its the restaurant thats creepy here.
People say eating healthily is expensive. In this case half the amount you're eating. Noone's body needs 6 burgers, 4 litres of soft drink and a bucket of ice-cream every day.
Exactly even if they are a certain amount of calories and worked out they'd be in better shape.
I think you took that out of context. What they mean is that processed foods in grocery stores are affordable for everyone, while organic foods & healthier foods are out of many people's price ranges, especially if they have more mouths to feed.
This is one reason why I have started trying to fast somewhat frequently. It builds self control, supports weight loss, & is easy on your pockets.
@@cecemeadows8117 Yes. Processed foods are more affordable. But statistically, often people who overeat are the ones buying processed food, ready meals and frequent fast food. To some extend it's a cultural/habitual thing. I often see kids getting chicken and chips for £5-6/portion after school, rather than having a fresh meal cooked for the same money OR sometimes they eat it as a pre-dinner/unnecessarily extra meal. Often, moms who claim they can't afford healthy food don't miss a manicure or hair appointment. Get the priorities right. Get cooking. Eat less. Move.
Cooking food is processing it.@@headlesschicken99
@@eclecticism3086 Eating food and digesting it is also processing but we're not talking about chyme here too, are we?
Surely, we can agree what processed food we're talking about. Some questionable mash with zero traces of meat that ends up being called nuggets or hotdogs is very far away from steaming broccoli or grilling a steak at home.
I just lost a nephew to obesity driven disease, he was 31 years old when collapsed and passed.
This is incredibly sad. I'm so sorry for your loss.
The Heart Attack Grill looks like something from a dystopian American future, but what’s concerning is it’s in the present 😨 Fancy opening a restaurant where the idea is to consume as many calories as possible, and the weird spankings are just unfathomable.
That heart attack grill is literally glorifying gluttony 🤮
Only in America.
My thoughts exactly! It’s sad smh
Den of mortal sin.
It should be called Big Pharma's FDA Slaughter House.
They offered Billy the Fridge a role after their main sort of mascot died and he declined because he planned on losing weight and they would not allow him to do that.
A "victim" of fast food? So the fast food joint broke into your home and rammed the food down your gullet? smh
Exactly!
I feel you can be a victim of a grocery store and buy some fruits and vegetables
Can opiate users then not be considered victims of the pharmaceutical industry? When tens of thousands of doctors in America were over-prescribing synthetic heroin for PMS and toothaches, who's fault was it that those people became addicted to opiates? If you think like I do, which is that the pharmaceutical industry lied to and preyed on Americans en masse by pushing their poison down our throats, is it then such a far stretch to think that the fast food industry in America might share at least SOME culpability for the prevalence of dangerous and addictive foods in this country? Conversely, if you think that obese Americans are entirely and completely to blame for the obesity epidemic in America, then certainly you must agree that the pharmaceutical industry carries no blame for the opiate epidemic?
You don't understand what happens in what's termed as "food deserts." It's not lack of food, but lack of good quality and affordable food. Also, please see my comment on the OP to understand why even your own better shopping and home-cooking efforts are just useless after all. They might be "better" but they're still futile, and no, that's not your fault, but there are things you can do about it. See that other comment to understand why.

I'm 34 and recently was diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure, and fatty liver. I've dramatically changed my live, but I want to inspire others too. Let's take our lives back! If you're struggling with weight know your not alone and keep you're eyes on the prize!
If your bulk takes up two seats on a plane, it's hardly unjust that you be charged for two seats.
??? What??! No pay!
Only activity is fishing? Run. Walk. Bike. Hike. Skip rope. Shadow box. 😶
Facts!!
Swimming is also great exercise especially for really large people because being in the water takes some of the pressure off their bodies + it's a fully body workout
I thought the same thing. Don't blame the town for your inactive life.
And later in the same part they mention a sports centre he goes to so, with all the things you rightfully mentioned, seems like there is plenty of opportunity to be active
Activities are great for fitness, not weight loss. The sucky thing is,
Closing your mouth is what works. It's no fun...but...
When you fast, energy goes UP!!
Keep electrolytes in check!
And they keep complaining the economy is bad.
There are people in the world that don't eat that much food in a year.
I watch what people put in their grocery carts. Holy cow!
I’ve been back in the US for 30+ years since growing up in Europe.
I’m still in disbelief at America’s eating habits.
While I certainly like pizza and other foods that certainly don’t help and my metabolism has slowed as I aged, I just can’t eat the way people do here.
This is so depressing, being overweight isn’t a thing to celebrate lol. I’m happy for those that are trying to lose weight but the opposite of that is not good.
I went low carb in Oct 2021 after being diagnosed with diabetes; remitted successfully. Once I reduced the carbs the cravings also reduced. Without even trying I lost weight; I can only do stretching, strengthening and light hand weights due to back and knee issues. I now weigh what I did back in the mid 1980s before having children. Went from 80kg down to 60kg. Waist was 44" and it's now 36". Other than shoes and socks I have to get a whole new wardrobe of clothes. Thankfully I've been able to get a lot of my tops / blouses from the second hand shop.
Well that is just remarkable. Shows it can be done if you want it bad enough.
@@isaiahoreweme6625*You definitely need to have a motivator* I didn't know if it would work for the diabetes but I watched a lot of videos and read comments about people's experiences and decided to at least try it. The doctor wanted to put me on metformin, a statin and see a dietician (which I did - a hospital diabetes dietician in Australia - and she told me I wasn't eating enough carbs and that I would lose muscle; I proved her wrong - I got checked by a exercise physiologist after 1 year). For me it was learning that you can go blind and/or end up on kidney dialysis (I already knew you could lose toes / limbs). My husband ended up on peritoneal dialysis after he contracted Wegeners Granulomatosis. We checked out about both types of dialysis and he decided on PD. Both forms of dialysis impact your life in a big way.
Bravo - good for you - we readers know it isn’t easy to change eating habits.👏🏼
@@davisholman8149 Thank you. You do need to have a strong motivation to do it. After being diagnosed with diabetes I learned that you can go blind and/or end up on dialysis. That scared me into trying low carb (after watching lots of videos and reading viewer comments about how it had worked for them). The diet didn't seem "wrong". I've now been low carb for over 2.5 years because I feel so much better on it than eating the way I had been. After a few weeks I stopped craving the carbs.
also had 20 kg to loose. managed to loose 10 kg with low carb diet and now am stuck with those 12 kg. cant excercise bc of knee and auto immune disease and am about to start some calistenia routine and see if can start loosing some more kg.
Choosing to not cook isn’t victimization.
I think many people don’t know how and groceries in the states are much more expensive than fast food. It is a strange place
@@NitzpitzYeah but they've got microwave in bag frozen veggies that are cheap, and it doesn't take a culinary genius to throw in a tablespoon of olive oil and powdered seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian herbs, etc. to make it taste good, have with baked chicken cutlets lightly coated in oil (I use oil or butter spray and garlic powder instead of peeling garlic because I'm lazy af), 1 serving of pasta, 1 serving pasta sauce, 1 Oz cheese, measured on a $10 digital food scale with an auto tare function, at least half the plate being veg. There are other improvised lazy quick easy healthy meals.
The point is that even lazy healthy chicken and veg doesn't have to be tasteless boring garbage. There are thousands upon thousands of simple video recipes if you don't want to read through elaborate recipes with exotic ingredients. Microwave potato with Greek yogurt, bacon bits, 1 Oz cheese, 3 Oz baked chicken or 1 serving canned chili, and a bit pile of roasted or sauteed or flavors steam in bag veggies is another good quick, easy, cheap healthy, tasty meals. And you can still have burgers, just skip the fries and soda.
I have disabilities limiting my ability to stand a long time sautéing or chopping things, and yeah it's harder when you're limited and in pain, but there are workarounds. Not everyone finds the workarounds quickly, but I have no time for defeatist attitudes that none of it is in your control. I didn't know about practical methods for healthy eating until the Internet went big, I was overweight until I moved out and chose my own food based on that info. Seek out the information and keep trying.
for real, cooking isn't hard. If you want you can do it you can look for recipies and buy items online to make more easy. Blame the food is easy part
Thousands of online receipts if they really want to cook. No excuses. If I want to cook something I've never cooked before I just go to CZcams BAM!
@@glow1815 They probably just have a phone, and even with that you can learn how to farm or cook. I'm black and the history of Africa is .....funny how getting aid is their most known for thing...
I didn’t let surgery be my only option. I fasted and ate super healthy cutting carbs and added sugars from my diet. I lost over 100lbs in just a year. I was almost 300 lbs but now I sit around 190lbs. It’s only hard for the first month but trust me, if it was easy everyone would do it. Limit yourself watch your calories and you’ll see results in a month GUARANTEED
Yeah, most people don't stop to consider that they're metabolically unhealthy, and it's gonna take time for their body to start functioning correctly, especially if they're diabetic and their body just stores fat and doesn't hardly use it. You can loose weight quickly on keto, but early weight loss is mostly water weight. Further, if you don't have enough protein, you may loose muscle mass while keeping much of the fat. Once you've alleviated the burden on your insulin for a long enough period of time, you'll start shedding the fat rather than storing it.
this is fascinating. also, i used to be obese, standing at 5ft, 220 lbs. most of the weight gain was from pregnancy and mental health issues. I did not realize how unhealthy i was or looked. all of my labs came back "normal," so i thought i was ok and continued eating. my diet for about 2 years consisted of mcdonalds, sugary coffees, lots of bread and chips. i was also consuming hidden calories/carbs/sugars from drinks, such as kombucha, bananas (25 grams of carbs, PLUS sugar), coconut water (again, a ton of sugar/carbs), oh, and lots of pizza. i was also struggling with severe anxiety and being a new mom. I was diagnosed with prediabetes last year and my reality was put into perspective and i drastically changed my lifestyle and eating habits asap. i lost about 40 lbs with simple eating habits, completely cutting out fast food, processed carbs and alcohol. i incorporated a ton of veggies, protein, healthy fats and got rid of fruit and sugary drinks. my A1C went back to normal and it is now reversed. i also walk every single day, around 10k steps. i still need to lose about 40lbs to get back to my pre pregnancy weight. being overweight isnt cute. it is very unhealthy and can very well lead to negative health consequences and a shorter lifespan. your knees and joints hurt, you have shortness of breath and low stamina. i experienced all of that and more. I had low energy, felt dizzy due to all of the sugar spikes and was fatigued very often. i realized we are not educated on making the correct food choices to benefit our health, lifestyle and lifespan. i work with patients who are diabetic and have lost limbs, have really bad infections due to slow healing, nerve damage and are on dialysis. i think we should be taught how to eat for sustainability, energy and nutritional value, and that a sugary, deep fried food should be as a reward every once in a great while.
Thank you for sharing. Glad you’re on a better road health-wise. Our health influences everything. Sounds like you doing good 👍🏻
The lady that was in the dra office with her husband said she was pushing 300. Thr narrator said she used to be obese. She's still obese
She had the surgery I had so long ago... and for cutting her stomach only lost 70 pounds in 2 years. I hit that in 4 months. It's a lie. And the surgery ruined my life and nearly killed me 20 years later.
@@LovingxLyriqxNxDeSeothat type of surgery is terrible. Lot's of people regain weight anyway. Many end up eating small quantities but many times per day. Snaking repeatedly causes a constant production of insulin by the pancreas. The surest way to get or aggravate diabetes. Surgeons know that but only their I come counts.
@Cervin_Suisse it absolutely is. And bc ppl don't realize the commitment they r making is until the day they die, they will never understand what cutting this vital organ is going to do to them later in life.
Casey got up to 700 and lost it all. He’s doing amazing
I was wondering if this was the guy from my 600 pound life
This is after the show not before.
Lost it all?
How does a man weigh 0 pounds?

Heart attack grill as a concept is utterly insane
It's down there with Pet Rocks and MLMs. Can't say which is worst; it's a tie!
Heart attack grill literally had customers having a heart attack and dying inside and outside of the restaurant. Spokesman died at 29 of pneumonia. SMH...it's gross.
No way. That's madness 😮
@@MissVanSamPeople over 350 pounds eat for free.
That was the intent. I understand that the whole business was created out of spite by a doctor who was sick of telling fat people to lose weight, only to be argued with fatlogic / ignored.
It's not surprising. People who have underlying Cardiovascular diseases and diabetes can actually have a heart attack or even stroke from eating huge amounts of fats and sugars at once. It's not unheard of, but not sure how common it is.
Either way, the Heart Attack Grill , admittedly is encouraging bad health and bad habits to a nation that is now the fattest and sickest of all industrial countries, and it's only getting worse and our health care system seems unable to keep up
It's not funny.
Just because it's there doesn't mean you have to eat tons of it all of the time. Cook healthy food, eat normal amounts, and be active. It's no secret formula. Normalizing obesity helps no one.
I have a family photo taken on the family farm in 1906.
This was during a family reunion and there are over 30 people spanning 4 generations. The largest of them would be considered below average in weight today. The old guys have arms and necks that are chiseled out of wood.
They didn’t have remote controls, central air or internal combustion engines to carry them around. They WORKED. And they ate at home.
These women for the body positivity are delsuional
It's pretty much on par of the "everyone gets a trophy" mindset
There may be numerous fast food places in town, but there’s also a grocery store with meats, veggies and fruit! Teach yourself a little bit about nutrition, portion size and healthier cooking. I didn’t give up my favorite foods I limited them drastically.
I did that and started walking and lost 150lbs!! It can be done and it’s our own responsibility! I will never look like a model and that’s ok. I don’t have high cholesterol, heart disease or diabetes.
You can do it too!
💜💜
It doesn't matter after all. Cooking at home, even growing your own food, won't save you from cancer and other serious problems, and that's not your fault either. See my comment under the OP to understand why that is, and please stop shaming the poor for being poor. Thanks.
If you van afford it.
@@user-im8oc4us9p Believe me I know how expensive food is. I’m on a fixed income that is below the annual poverty line. I make my food budget a priority. I don’t spend money on frivolous things or entertainment until all my bills are paid and that includes my food budget. I don’t get food stamps. Sometimes I get food from the food bank or churches. A healthy diet is extremely important to me!
sorry, my English is not very good..
I really enjoyed how comprehensive this documentary was. They've provided various POVs, nuances into each person's unique situation. I just wished it went deeper into the psychology of some of these people's origins of excessive weight gain. I personally believe that for some of them it stems from unresolved/ unacknowledged trauma or something else that masked through isolation and eating more than necessary. I used to be chubby when I was a teenager but lost everything overtime through self educating myself, exercising more and associating with people who share my lifestyle values or I'm doing it all solo either way, I am in CONTROL lol! I know that everyone's' situation is different and that I am not the standard but as some people have said in the comments, you heart is literally the size of your fist (closed), if your overall body weight is 7-10x that size, your heart is working way more than it needs to to keep you alive. And that alone shortenings your life expectancy...
Acceptance is different from glorification. Accepting of obese people, not shaming, bullying or teasing them is good but glamorizing the same would lead to problems, more for the obese people than others.
Food Addiction is a serious problem
I accidentally fixed it by going organic. No more food cravings. In 2 weeks pain, inflammation and cravings were gone. Down from 170 to 115 without trying. Just eat real food without the chemicals
All serious problems are serious problems.
Just say no. It is all voluntary and life choices.
It not a food addiction it's a sugar and carb addiction we teach children
@@zekebrooklyn5789 We had sugar and cardbs pre 1980s too. We didn't have the addictive chemicals until we loosened our food standards. I can eat sugar and carbs as long as they are organic
I’m from a small country in the Caribbean. Since second grade mandatory you receive cooking classes. Back when buying grocery store box bread was seemed as expensive, I had to help my mom bake the baguette and cookies for my school week snacks. Now I relocated because of work and I still bake most of my stuff at home. Yes in the USA I can feel everything is sooo easy to acquired and accessible. But investing in my tradition and knowing what I eat it’s very important even if it’s a time consuming task
❤❤❤
If everything is so easily acquired and accessible, how can you justify not being vegan and still causing needless harm towards animals?
Fantastic! The problem in America is we teach gender ideologies and critical race theory instead of programs that are more beneficial like that cooking program and don't destroy the mind...
I'm froma small Caribbean island too. Same experience there. I'm in Canada now and still do the same things as I'd learned back home.
I’ve been working on weight loss together with my husband. I was 40lbs overweight and he was 60lbs over. Now I’m only 10 lbs away from my goal weight after 3 years of up and down fluctuations in weight, and he is 20lbs away. We’ve been counting calories, eating home cooked meals, and increased our physical activity to make it happen. It’s harder for women to stay consistent in weight loss, due to our monthly energy fluctuations due to our natural hormone cycle. I recommend women to look into the nature of their cycles and learn the amount of physical activity doable in each part of your cycle, because it helps to understand why something that was easy to do one week ago feels impossible this week. I used to beat myself up about my inconsistency in activity, but it all makes sense once you realize how affected you can be by your cycle.
There's honestly no such thing as a healthy restaurant anywhere. I've been to other countries; their restaurant food isn't really any healthier. They just don't eat out as often, or eat as much of it.
I didn't lose weight until I learned to cook at home - and asked my doctor for help. I used phentermine, the older weight loss drug, as an appetite suppressant. I lost about a hundred pounds, and kept it off for about seven years now. I had to track calories strictly - if you eat high calorie density foods, it won't help, and you HAVE to eat mostly protein to not lose your muscle tone . It's only an option if you're young and your heart is still in good shape, though, since it's essentially speed. I'm not surprised more and more people are resorting to surgery. (Now with semaglutide, there are other options that are less dangerous to your heart. Just more dangerous to your wallet.)
One final note: The whole 95% of diets fail thing? That was one diet, in the 1960s, and it wasn't a diet. It was a healthy eating pamphlet doctors were handing out. OF COURSE IT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. Serious weight loss interventions under medical supervision have a much higher rate of success. If you have insurance in the US, talk to your doctor. Ask for help!
Idk, doctors have a vested interest in people being sick, especially in a country where everything is a private industry. Just eating whole foods largely fixes the problem; Why take appetite suppressants or have expensive dangerous surgeries? Certainly you've found that eating whole foods satiates you better, so why are you saying this? That's what boggles my mind...
I’ve been on Phentermine for a month & it’s helping a lot. I’m using it as a tool to help train me not to snack. I know I can’t be on it for the rest of my life therefore I’m taking this time to learn how to practice fighting my cravings. Congrats on your weight loss & keeping it off 👏
The ending with plus size beauty pageants makes me embarrassed to be human.
That restaurant is insanity.
Healthy food is boring
It's better for you that's true but it's no fun
Healthy doesn't taste all that great
You can mix little bit of junk with Healthy
@@marycooper8385 People just don't know how to make delicious healthy food. If you have been eating over-salted food all your life, richly covered with artificial ketchup and synthetic mayonnaise, finished with a sugary dessert on top of drinking sugar water with a teaspoon of coffee and a heaping dose of artificial "whipped cream", then it is difficult to feel the natural taste of vegetables or simply grilled good quality meat or fish, feel the smell and taste of herbs or freshly ground and brewed coffee.
What a mess this marketing greedy system has made for people. The least we can do is get educated & have choice in better options.
Its just a novelty. Relax.
I call that a pigsty, not a restaurant.
Sugar is a major issue. They put sugar in literally everything I mean everything. I have to make everything at home so I can control what goes into the food I eat.
Inspirational Documentary 💕 Thanks
So many animals killed feeding patrons of that Vegas burger joint. Such a waste. Then they’re tortured while researchers try and find cures for human ailments their lifestyle contributes to. Ugh, people.
THIS! I was literally thinking about it... all the animal sacrifice just for superficial entertainment.
Why is it unfair to be charged for two seats on a plane if you take up two seats?

Congratulations to Casey! Keep up the great work! 😊
I haven’t been obese but I’ve been overweight and I could come up with excuses but I was simply just lazy. I can’t say it doesn’t help to have someone help and motivate you but it still starts with you. Which pain is worse, regret, or discipline? Only you can decide that.
Thanks for this comment. And safe & happy travels to wherever you’re going (Because traveling isn’t only about getting on an airplane. )
For the guy that weights 297 at 5’10”, yeah he’s overweight, but I’m confused why the surgery is only option. Brother you can lose that weight! I would not want 80% of my stomach cut out.
That was my thought. I also think he seemed relatively healthy to start with.
It's how the health system is structured. The only option he has probably given is starvation diets and strenous exercise. None of which is sustainable for most metabolically ill people.
Seems lazy
I thought that too 👌he looked like he could’ve done it by himself
People are lazy, they want a quick fix without the work basically
I’ve spent the last few days in Stockholm, Sweden and haven’t seen a single person that was morbidly obese. Of course, food is to blame but if the US encouraged its citizens to walk or bike when they’re in the cities, and if US cities were designed better for pedestrians and bikes, obesity rates wouldn’t be as high. Now maybe I’m naive, because I’m fortunate enough to live in Montreal (aka one of the most walkable cities in North America) but honestly… if Americans could walk or bike instead of drive for a 5 minutes commute, y’all would be much healthier.
You can't outrun a bad diet, ever.
Not to mention there are no gmos in other countries.
there is truth in what you say, however weight control starts with what you are eating.
Exercise will help 20%, not much more.
@@trustinginhim3189 Do you quite understand what a gene is?
In all reality, losing weight is 80% diet and only 20% exercise. Upping activity is a great idea but it all starts with what you’re putting in your body.
You are not a victim of fast food. You are a victim of your own laziness and lack of discipline
We've been drilled we need to eat 3 meals per day and snacks. Nobody needs that. I only eat 1 meal per day. Much healthier for you.
Yep this.
I eat 3 meals a day with healthy snacks. I've never had a weight problem. A major part of the problem is what you eat and the quantity. I eat no fast food no processed food, nothing friend and if there's ingredients I can't pronounce it stays on the shelf.
It's carb/sugar overload and dependence ... you become compelled to eat every few hours. My partner gets the shakes if she misses a meal. Eliminating most carbs you can achieve OMAD, without the side effects.
@@magnessskippton2509 never had that problem. Just got home from work after 5pm. Didn't eat a thing all day. Because it is hot out I'm doing desert first- chocolate ice cream. Then after I cool down I will have either peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or a bowl of Mac and cheese. Then I call it a night. This is a typical food intake for me every single day. I don't worry about sugar or carbs and sadly alot of my dinners are not healthy. I rarely eat vegetables.
Eating one time a day is not healthy either, it will slow your metabolism, and make it hard to lose fat, you just need to pick real food and control the portions.
It annoys me when I hear that the cause for peoples obesity is because of all the fast foods joints. Yes these places should not exist or only a handful. But no one forces you to go there and eat that food. You could buy fresh whole foods and make it up yourself.
First 2 mins in i hear the guy saying theres no healthy restaurants & i thought are we forgetting the grocery stores exist
@@AllainaTellis Exactly. Ultimately it is down to bone idleness.
@@drubber007 😅 sad but true
but America has way more of Fast Food Options and more Sugar Products in the Grocery Store selection than other countrys. And when people dont have much money they def dont buy fruits & vegtables.
@@vtkzthank you
I visited america numerous times and found that finding good quality food was nigh on impossible
I remember my first trip to the US.
I was absolutely shocked at the amount of fast food restaurants.
They were just one after another, after another as you drove down the road.
I went into a local grocery store to get some snacks to see, buy one giant bag of chips for $1 and get 4 more giant bags for free was crazy to me 😳😕
If I mail a larger package, I pay for more room and weight on the truck. How are airline fees for transporting humans any different? Asking for an extra seat means everyone else on the plane has to pay more for THEIR tickets- how is that fair?
No need to go as far to compare people to packages though. The same airlines will charge based on weight for pets, which are live beings. I joked that I would put my dog on a diet before our flight (which obviously wouldn't help because he isn't fat, he's just big), because for him to travel in a cargo section I paid almost as much ($800) as I paid for my own ticket ($1000), and this was based on his weight
“we're embarrassed about things we should be proud of and proud of things that we should be embarrassed of” JS
That sums up man’s current downfall succinctly
Was watching this documentary while doing my workout. Thank God I had actually loving parents who made me a healthy person
I’m obese. 😢
But I got on the treadmill and lifted some weights today for the first time in a year… no time like the present.
Blaming their obesity on fast food is the same as somebody driving a BMW, hitting a pedestrian and blaming it on BMW for making their cars too fast.
Yeah, something to think about.
And while the manufacturer/seller has some responsibility, I'd take responsibility for myself and my health, especially as healthy options are available. I've gone without food, skipped meals, when there was no healthy option. I won't eat poison just because it's the only option.
Spot on.
If you can understand you're a 'victim' of fastfood, you really aren't a victim.
I've known drug addicts who think this of themselves. Please see it is not as easy as you think to recover from food addiction
Possibly the dumbest theory i heard today
@@gloomdoom What makes you 'think' I haven't recovered from an addiction? Keep it real.
it's an addiction, but you never see it presented as such. They fill the food with lots of sugar and/or HFCS to get you addicted to it. You really see it with most fast food places' drink options; sugar free Sprite exists now, but almost no fast food place has it as an option, every drink offered must have either lots of sugar or lots of caffeine to keep people coming back
@@bokunogentoo4420 Well, that's part of it. But if a person 'understands' this, they really aren't a victim.
I live in Canada (but was born and raised in the Caribbean). Whenever I visited the USA, even knowing the situation, I still get so shocked and amazed to this day at the _portion sizes!_
I'll never forget when I visited a burger place at a mall there once, asking for the sizes for a lemonade. They showed me the cups for sizes. I was looking at the 'Small, Medium, Large' size cups and my eyes bugged out, thinking holy cow, the 'Small' cups are like bigger than a LARGE size anywhere else at home! I'd seen it advertised in other places too and on commercials, but seeing it in person.... and seeing little kids with those big jug-like cups... At that burger place, just at them seeing my shocked expression alone, the employees told me that they KNEW right away that I wasn't from the USA, LOL!
I have Binge Eating Disorder and right now I'm in intensive outpatient to re learn my relationship with food. I highly suggest to anyone struggling to find an eating disorder treatment center.
That restaurant is obscene. It reminds me of Roman parties where they've first eaten their fill, than puked and ate again...
No healthy restaurants? You know you could cook? Once you start eating fast food it’s really hard to get off it, you get addicted and nothing will satiate
You when you’re hungry. Takes a week then you’ll be ok
I like the re-education at the weight loss camp. Cooking at home and maintaining a workout regiment can be hard but they're two lifestyle changes that make a big difference.
The boarding program those young women attended, wow, just wow. You could truly see in them that they enjoyed being there and that not only where they learning valuable lifelong tools, they were building confidence and pride in themselves and appreciation for their bodies. What an amazing format they have going. I hope those young people are doing well.
